13. Homework On Moodle – look for the Quadratics topic To be completed on file paper – NOT IN YOUR INDEPENDENT STUDY BOOKS To be named, dated and set out properly Questions and answers Marked in a second colour Comments in a third colour HAND IN DATE – MONDAY 6 th OCTOBER

14. Task – match up 2 sheets – one all numbers other algebra Note: If the value of b 2 —4ac is a positive square number then you should be able to factorise the quadratic If the value of b 2 - 4ac is positive but not square then just use the formula and leave surds in your answer to find the roots

15. Factorises (with integers)Does not factorise Has one real root (2 identical roots) Graph just touches the x-axis If the quadratic equation has one root then it always factorises Has two real and different roots Graph crosses the x-axis Has no real roots Graph does not touch or cross the x-axis If the quadratic equation has no real roots then it never factorises
